DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Forest Service
Wallowa-Whitman National Forest;
Notice of Availability of the Draft
Record of Decision and Final
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Boardman to Hemingway
Transmission Line Project, Oregon
Forest Service, USDA.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The USDA Forest Service
(USFS), Wallowa-Whitman National
Forest, announces the availability of the
Draft Record of Decision (ROD) for the
Boardman to Hemingway Transmission
Line Project (B2H Project) for public
review. The proposed actions and
activities described in the Draft ROD are
subject to project-level predecisional
administrative review (known as an
‘‘objection’’ process) and a 45-day
objection filing period began with
publication of a legal notice in the Baker
City Herald. The USFS previously
notified the public that the agency
would waive its administrative review
procedures and adopt the Bureau of
Land Management’s (BLM) protest
procedures for its decisions to issue a
special use authorization and to amend
the Forest Plan. Following further
review of the scope of the decisions that
the USFS will make and the applicable
regulations, the USFS determined it
must instead follow their own agency’s
project-level predecisional
administrative review process.
DATES: An individual or entity who
meets eligibility for objecting to a draft
decision outlined in 36 CFR 218.5 and
wishes to file an objection must do so
within 45 days of the date that the
Wallowa-Whitman National Forest
published the Legal Notice in the
newspaper of record, the Baker City
daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:

Herald. The publication date of the
Legal Notice is the exclusive means for
calculating the time to file an objection.
ADDRESSES: The Final Environmental
Impact Statement (FEIS) was circulated
by the BLM. The USFS adopted the
FEIS. As a cooperating agency for the
B2H Project, the USFS need not
recirculate the FEIS. However, the
document remains available for review
on the Applicant’s project
website at https://www.boardmanto
hemingway.com/documents.aspx and
copies are available upon request.
Copies of the Draft ROD were sent to
Federal, Tribal, State, and local
governments potentially affected by the
proposed USFS decision, to public
libraries in the area, and to interested
parties that previously requested a DVD
copy. Interested persons may also
review the FEIS and Draft ROD, along
with the legal notice announcing the
objection period, on the internet at
https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/
?project=26709.
The reviewing officer for this project
˜
is James Pena, Regional Forester, Pacific
Northwest Region. Written objections,
including any attachments, must be
filed with the reviewing officer and may
be sent as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (NEPA), and the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act of 1976, as
amended (FLPMA), the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM), together with
cooperating agencies including the
USFS, prepared a FEIS and proposed
Land Use Plan Amendments for the B2H
Project. The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) published a Notice of
Availability (NOA) for the FEIS in the
Federal Register on November 25, 2016
(81 FR 85222). BLM published a NOA
for the FEIS in the Federal Register on
November 28, 2016 (81 FR 85632). The
USFS adopted the FEIS and related
documents prepared by the lead agency
(BLM) following 40 CFR 1506.3. A NOA
announcing USFS’s adoption of the
FEIS was published by the EPA in the
Federal Register on June 30, 2017 (82
FR 29589).
The FEIS analyzes the potential
environmental impacts of BLM granting
a right-of-way to Idaho Power Company
(Applicant) to use BLM-managed lands
to construct and operate an
approximately 300 mile long overhead,
single-circuit, 500-kilovolt (kV)
alternating-current electric transmission
line with ancillary facilities. The FEIS
also analyzes the potential
environmental impacts of the USFS
issuing a special use authorization for
the construction, operation, and
maintainenance of those portions of the
transmission line and ancillary facilities
located on lands administered by the
USFS. In addition, the FEIS analyzes the
potential environmental impacts of an
amendment to the Wallowa-Whitman
National Forest’s 1990 Land and
Resource Management Plan (Forest
Plan) that are necessary to make the
Forest Plan consistent with the B2H
Project.
The USFS Responsible Official, the
Wallowa-Whitman National Forest
Supervisor, must respond to the
Applicant’s request for use of National
Forest System lands and determine
whether to issue a special-use
authorization for the construction,
operation, and maintenance of the
Proposed Action and, if issued,
determine what terms and conditions
should apply. The USFS Responsible
Official must also approve any
amendment to the Forest Plan necessary
